What do you look for in a Sylist?
The Story Begins...
My fascination with hair began early-on. As a bi-racial child, the attempts to find a stylist qualified to handle my hair, lead to many trials and tribulations. After spending many years with my father taking me to his barber, I decided to take matters into my own hands.
The Early Years...
I was always into hair. I was one of those little girls who wanted to be "fabulous". Jose Ybarra, during an appearance on Oprah, was my first real inspiration. I remember, as a child, having my mothers hair trapped in curlers, screaming to the world, "Shake Your Hair, Darling!"
The Awakening...
In College, at Grand Valley State University, I spent my time helping my friends get ready for events, dates, dances and even the occasional cotillion. Hair, at this time, was my hobby. Although I didn't warrant the billable rate I make today, I must admit, I had no end of compliments and repeat business. It was here that I realized that cosmetology, not photography, was my passion. I did not want to take pictures of people with gorgeous hair, I wanted to make people with gorgeous hair.
Today...
Hair is not a hobby, it is a science. To truly style hair correctly, there must be an understanding of such concepts as anatomy, chemistry, and geometry. Until now you have had people "guess" at the expense of your hair.
